Britain's top 20 sporting hot spots to buy property

Wimbledon fortnight poses residents with a pretty conundrum. Do they stay put
and soak up the atmosphere? Or let out their properties for silly money to
top players like Roger Federer, who prefer to rent in the village rather
than stay in a hotel? When the tennis is over, the village reverts to being
one of the most sought-after addresses in London, with its beguiling mix of
boutique shops and leafy walks.

“The rental potential is one of the big draws in Wimbledon Village,” says
Clive Moon of Savills Wimbledon. “A five-bedroom property that would
normally be let for £8,000 a month might command £25,000 during Wimbledon
fortnight.”
